D C/Dm
i look at all the sad story people

cmajor7 D
lost in the seasons passing them by

C/Dm
inside my head lies a life on an island

cmajor7 D
flooded with darkness deep into the sky

bridge

C/Dm cmajor7 D
but they’re only the strangers on a train

C/Dm cmajor7 A fmajor7
passing through my mind again and again

chorus

A fmajor7
but it’s lonely to stand in this heat

A fmajor7
deep in the woods who knows who you’ll meet

A fmajor7
but i didn’t know the hill would be the steep

A fmajor7
and i didn’t know the sea would be this deep

C/Dm
and i’m sorry i treat you this way

deep inside the shell i crawl into
crying alone i know i’ll get by
please stay away i just don’t want to see you
the things that you say i know they’re all lies

but i don’t understand what the story’s about
explain to me please how the sunlight got out

please don’t leave me here
dreaming alone with phantoms
